Definitions
- the invention relates to a self-converging color picture tube (CRT) display device.
- the electrons of each of the three electron beams of the CRT, R, G and B will traverse a greater distance when deflected towards the edge of the viewing screen than when directed toward the center. Due to the separation of the electron guns, this may result in a separation of the landing points of the three electron beams when they are deflected towards the edges of the screen. In uniform magnetic deflection fields, these effects combine to cause the light spots of the three beams at points on the viewing screen away from the center to be separated. This is known as misconvergence and results in color fringes about the edges of the displayed images. A certain amount of misconvergence is tolerable, but complete separation of the three illuminated spots is generally not acceptable. Misconvergence may be measured as a separation of the ideally superimposed red and blue lines of a crosshatch pattern of lines appearing on the screen when an appropriate test signal is applied to the picture tube.
- Each of the three electron beams scans a raster, which may be identified by its color.
- a green raster is ordinarily scanned by the center electron beam, and the outside beams scan red and blue rasters, respectively.
- the crosshatch pattern is formed in each of the red, green and blue rasters.
- the crosshatch pattern outlines the raster with generally vertical and horizontal lines, and also includes other intermediate vertically and horizontally-directed lines.
- the field intensity or flux lines produced by the horizontal deflection winding are made generally pincushion-shaped at a portion of the yoke that is closer to the screen than to the gun. Consequently at a given deflection current, the magnetic field is stronger at, for example, the right-center edge of the screen, referred to as the 3 o'clock hour point than at the center of the screen.
- Such field nonuniformity is known to reduce misconvergence at the 3 o'clock hour point, of a given vertical line.
- the field flux lines produced by the vertical deflection winding are made barrel-shaped at a portion of the yoke that is intermediate the gun end and the screen end of the yoke.
- Such field nonuniformity reduces misconvergence at the 12 o'clock point of a vertical line.
- the combination of the barrel-shaped and pincushion-shaped horizontal magnetic field reduces misconvergence at, for example, the right-top edge of the screen referred to as the 2 o'clock hour point.
- Such unacceptable misconvergence error may occur even though the misconvergence errors at both the 2 o'clock and the 3 o'clock hour points are acceptable.
- unacceptable misconvergence errors may occur at other vertical half-hour points on the respective intermediate vertical lines referred to as the 3:30, 8:30 and the 9:30 hour points. It may be desirable to reduce such unacceptable hourglass shaped misconvergence error at the half hour points such as, for example, at the 2:30 hour point on the vertical line without causing misconvergence at the 2 o'clock and at the 3 o'clock hour points on the vertical line.
- tabs or shunts having high permeability are placed on the horizontal deflection winding between the horizontal deflection winding and the neck of the CRT.
- the tabs are made of a mixture of a plastic material and a ferrite and are referred to by the name "plasto-ferrite".
- Such tabs are placed in an intermediate region on the horizontal deflection winding between an entrance region and an exit region of the yoke.
- Such tabs are used for varying the fifth harmonic distribution of the horizontal magnetic field, obtained in accordance with the Fourier harmonic decomposition analysis, to reduce the aforementioned misconvergence errors at the half hour points.
- An alternative aspect of the invention is the use of spaces in the winding to achieve the desired fifth harmonic distribution.
- a self converged color display device includes a cathode ray tube having an evacuated glass envelope and including an array of different color representative phosphor elements disposed at one end of the envelope forming a display screen and an electron gun assembly disposed at a second end of the envelope.
- the electron gun assembly arranged to produce three horizontal in-line electron beams for energizing respective ones of the different color phosphor elements.
- a magnetically permeable core is included.
- Horizontal and vertical deflection coils are disposed in operating relationship relative to the core for producing when energized horizontal and vertical deflection fields for causing the beams to scan a raster on the display screen.
- the horizontal deflection field has a predominately pincushion-shaped field for establishing beam convergence along a horizontal axis at a vertical center of the display screen.
- the harmonic composition of the horizontal deflection field is modified to cause the horizontal deflection field to exhibit a fifth harmonic component that has a significant positive value for correcting a misconvergence error at a half hour point of the raster.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a longitudinal sectional view in diagrammatic form through a color television display tube assembly whose longitudinal axis is indicated by Z.
- a display tube, CRT 110 has a display screen 22, at the conical end of the tube.
- CRT 110 is, for example, of the type 66MP (medium planar) that is produced by Videocolor, Anagni, Italy, having a deflection angle 110° and a 66cm or 26V viewable screen size.
- the term MP indicates a radius of curvature, R>1, such as 1.5R.
- a neck end 33, remote from display screen 22 contains three in-line electron guns 44 situated in one plane; the longitudinal axis lying on that plane with the central electron gun centered on the axis.
- a deflection yoke 55 is mounted on CRT 110 such that is surrounds a portion of the neck and a portion of the conical or flared part.
- Deflection yoke 55 includes a line deflection coil assembly 77 formed by a pair of saddle coils 10. It includes a field deflection coil assembly 88 formed by a pair of toroidal coils 990 wound on a soft magnetic core 66.
- the two deflection coil assemblies are generally mounted on a support, not shown, of insulating material whose shape is substantially that of a frustum. Coils 10 are driven by a horizontal deflection circuit 177 and coils 990 are driven by a vertical deflection circuit 178 of a television receiver.
- Each saddle coil 10 has a straight, rear end turn portion 9 adjacent electron gun 44, referred to as the gun end. This end turn portion is not bent away from the neck of CRT 110, but lies generally parallel to longitudinal axis Z.
- a second, front end turn portion 19 of saddle coil 10 is located adjacent display screen 22, referred to as the screen end, and is bent away from axis Z in a direction generally transverse thereto.
- each of core 66 and the insulating support may be formed, advantageously, as a single piece, rather than being assembled from two pieces clipped or bonded together.
- Figures 3a, 3b and 3c illustrate side, top and rear views, respectively, of one of the pairs of saddle coil 10, embodying an aspect of the invention, of Figure 2. Each winding turn is formed by a wire conductor loop of generally saddle shape.
- the front end turns 19 of saddle coil 10 of Figures 3a-3c is joined to the straight rear end turns 9 by flared side members 11 and 12.
- the sections of side members 11 and 12 located in the exit region of the magnetic deflection field of yoke 55 are wound in a well known manner to provide front spaces 20 in the coil.
- Front spaces 20 affect or modify the harmonics of the current distribution in a manner to correct, for example, raster pattern or geometry distortions such as north-south distortion.
- the sections of side members 11 and 12, located in the entrance region of yoke 55 are wound in a well known manner to provide rear spaces 30 and 30a in the coil. Spaces 30 and 30a modify the harmonics of the current distribution in a manner to correct horizontal coma error.
- End turns 9 and 19 and side members 11 and 12 define a window 18.
- Coma errors are corrected in the entrance region of coil 10 region. Convergence errors are corrected in intermediate regions, between the exit and entrance regions. Geometry errors at the extreme edges of the display screen are corrected in the exit region.
- spaces 100 affect convergence. However, the effect of spaces 100 on horizontal coma is weaker than that of spaces 30 and 30a located in the entrance region. Similarly, the effect of spaces 100 on side pincushion raster distortion is weaker than that of spaces 20.
- Spaces 20, 30, and 30a are located in the end turn regions of saddle coil 10.
- the wire conductor that define the boundary of such a space is significantly curved for turning a corner to begin or complete an end turn portion of full winding turn. That is to say, each one of spaces 20, 30 and 30a is delineated in part by wires such as wire 98 of Figure 3A.
- a length of wire conductor 98 includes segments 98a and 98b that are oriented at a sharp angle to each other.
- a length of conductor wire 99 includes a segment 99c which forms one side of space 100, and includes wire segments 99a and 99c on either side of space 100 which are generally oriented in the same direction of the continuous winding before and after the winding space.
- wire segments 99a, 99b and 99c are disposed in the intermediate section of, for example, side member 12 of Figure 3b.
- Wire or conductor segments 99d, 99c, 99e and 99g, located at the four corners of coil 10, are sharply curved in order to form the loop-shape of a full winding turn.
- Spaces 100 are not. associated with these wire segments 99d-99g. Therefore, by providing the capability of placing spaces 100 away from the corners of the coil, great flexibility exists in modifying the winding harmonic content to correct electron beam landing errors. For example, as explained later on, spaces 100 act to reduce the misconvergence at a half hour point such as at, for example, the 2:30 hour point on the vertical line of Figure 1a.
- a saddle coil as described above can be wound from copper wire of small dimension, the wire being coated with an electrical insulant and a thermo-setting adhesive.
- Winding takes place in a winding machine which winds the saddle coil substantially to its final shape and which introduces spaces 20, 30, 30a and 100 of Figures 3a-3c during the winding process. The shapes and locations of these spaces are determined by retractable pins in the winding head which limits the shapes these spaces can take.
- each saddle coil is retained in a jig with pressure being applied to obtain the required mechanical dimensions.
- a current is passed through the wire to soften the thermo-setting adhesive, which is afterwards allowed to cool to bond the wires together and form a self supporting saddle coil.
- the coefficients H0(Z), H2(Z) and H4(Z) can then be computed for different values of the coordinate Z.
- a graph can then be plotted depicting the variation of each of coefficients H0(Z), H2(Z) and H4(Z) as a function of the coordinate Z.
- Field distribution function H2 is determined mainly by the third harmonic of the winding or current distribution in the saddle coil as a function of an angle ⁇ of Figure 3d.
- the magnitude of the third harmonic is computed using the Fourier analysis technique.
- parameter H4 is determined mainly by the fifth harmonic.
- parameter H4 and the fifth harmonic of the winding distribution of the coil have the same polarity.
- a deflection yoke designed similar to that of Figures 2 and 3a-3c but without spaces 100 of Figures 3a-3c, is used for performing the aforementioned magnetic field strength measurements.
- Such a yoke is referred to herein as the initially designed deflection yoke.
- the initially designed deflection yoke is otherwise, self converged and generally geometry corrected, except that it exhibits the half hour point misconvergence shown in Figure 1a.
- four field formers such as, for example, plasto-ferrite shunts or tabs 100′, a pair of which being shown in broken line in Figure 3e, each having a dimension of, for example, 5mm x 10 mm, are placed symmetrically to axes X and Y.
- Four tabs 100′ are placed on the side of saddle coil 10 that faces the glass envelope of CRT 100.
- a tab is placed in each of the four quadrants at a corresponding one of four predetermined angles ⁇ , 180° ⁇ of Figure 3d relative to axis X.
- the Z-coordinate point and the angle ⁇ are chosen in a manner to reduce subtantially the misconvergence shown in Figure 1a.
- Such tabs may also affect the magnetic field produced by the vertical deflection winding.
- the tabs may also decrease the separation between the horizontal deflection winding and the neck of the CRT. Consequently, such decrease may reduce the range of tilt motion of the yoke relative to the neck of the CRT, required during yoke adjustment in the factory.
- the tabs may cause a slight increase in the stored energy.
- such tabs might dissipate energy as a result of induced currents at high frequencies.
- placing the tabs is, typically, a manual operation, it is subject to variations from yoke to yoke in production. Therefore, situations may arise where one may wish to avoid the above described effects of using tabs to vary the fifth harmonic distribution or the field distribution function H4(Z) of the horizontal magnetic field.
- spaces 100 of Figure 3a-3c are introduced in side members 11 and 12 of saddle coil 10, instead of tabs 100′.
- Spaces 100 are located in coil 10 approximately at the same angular positions and Z-coordinate where tabs 100′ were found to correct the misconvergence of Figure 1a in the initially designed deflection yoke.
- a misconvergence error at a half hour point of, for example, 0.6 mm may be reduced to only 0.3 mm by using spaces 100.
- Figure 6 illustrates the graphs of coefficients H0, H2 and H4 as a function of the coordinate Z of saddle coils 10 when spaces 100 are formed in the coils. Similar symbols and numerals in Figures 2-6 indicate similar items or functions. Coil 10 is drawn below the Z axis line of Figure 6 to show the variation of the coefficients relative to the position of space 100 is shown in Figure 6. As in Figure 5, coefficient H4 of Figure 6 has not significant negative excursion in the intermediate yoke field region. The H4 coefficient is mainly positive and its peak excursion has been shifted to near the yoke field entrance region and results in substantially reduced half-hour misconvergence.
- the horizontal deflection field produced by saddle coils 10 of Figures 4, 5 and 6 is predominately a pincushion-shaped field for establishing beam convergence along a horizontal axis at a vertical center of display screen 22. This can be seen by the coefficient H2 being mainly positive.
- Figures 4-6 also show the respective locations of the beam entrance region, the intermediate region and the beam exit region coil 10. The entrance and exit regions occur where the conductors that form the windings change directions to form the corresponding four corners of saddle coil 10.
- forming spaces 100 in saddle coil 10 of Figures 3a-3c is conceptually similar to using the aforementioned tabs. This is so because a tab acts as a shunt to prevent the magnetic field produced by the windings directly behind it from affecting the electron beam. A somewhat equivalent result can be obtained by replacing the tab with a space 100 formed in the coil.
- forming spaces 100 in saddle coil 10 results in an increased concentration of wires closer to, for example, bottom edges 11a and 12a. Such increased concentration might adversely affect the third harmonic of the current distribution, but this effect may be compensated by using known techniques.
- tabs 100′ or, alternatively spaces 100 of Figures 3a-3c modify the fifth harmonic to correct the half-hour point misconvergence shown in Figure 1a without degrading convergence at, for example, the 3 o'clock hour point.
- FIG. 4 A comparison of Figures 4, 5 and 6 shows that the function H2(Z) does not substantially change when tabs 100′ or, alternatively, spaces 100 of Figures 3a-3c, are used for correcting the misconvergence shown in Figure 1a.
- the function H4(Z) is significantly modified.
- function H4(Z) of Figure 6 may become modified by, for example, spaces 100 of Figures 3a-3c to the extent that some degradation. of hour-point misconvergence occurs. Therefore, to avoid such degradation, in practice, the angle may be slightly different than 30°, in the range between 20° and 25°.
- the function H4(Z) after being weighted by. an appropriate power of gaussian deflection, describes the contribution of function H4(Z) to the half hour error.
- the gaussian deflection by definition provides error free cross hatch rasters.
- the weighted effect of function H4(Z) which is negative in Figure 4 has been eliminated in Figures 5 and 6 by using the tabs or winding spaces for correcting the half hour error.

Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a self-converging color picture tube (CRT) display device.
- The electrons of each of the three electron beams of the CRT, R, G and B, will traverse a greater distance when deflected towards the edge of the viewing screen than when directed toward the center. Due to the separation of the electron guns, this may result in a separation of the landing points of the three electron beams when they are deflected towards the edges of the screen. In uniform magnetic deflection fields, these effects combine to cause the light spots of the three beams at points on the viewing screen away from the center to be separated. This is known as misconvergence and results in color fringes about the edges of the displayed images. A certain amount of misconvergence is tolerable, but complete separation of the three illuminated spots is generally not acceptable. Misconvergence may be measured as a separation of the ideally superimposed red and blue lines of a crosshatch pattern of lines appearing on the screen when an appropriate test signal is applied to the picture tube.
- Each of the three electron beams scans a raster, which may be identified by its color. Thus, a green raster is ordinarily scanned by the center electron beam, and the outside beams scan red and blue rasters, respectively. The crosshatch pattern is formed in each of the red, green and blue rasters. The crosshatch pattern outlines the raster with generally vertical and horizontal lines, and also includes other intermediate vertically and horizontally-directed lines.
- In a self converging yoke, the field intensity or flux lines produced by the horizontal deflection winding are made generally pincushion-shaped at a portion of the yoke that is closer to the screen than to the gun. Consequently at a given deflection current, the magnetic field is stronger at, for example, the right-center edge of the screen, referred to as the 3 o'clock hour point than at the center of the screen. Such field nonuniformity is known to reduce misconvergence at the 3 o'clock hour point, of a given vertical line.
- On the other hand, the field flux lines produced by the vertical deflection winding are made barrel-shaped at a portion of the yoke that is intermediate the gun end and the screen end of the yoke. Such field nonuniformity reduces misconvergence at the 12 o'clock point of a vertical line. The combination of the barrel-shaped and pincushion-shaped horizontal magnetic field reduces misconvergence at, for example, the right-top edge of the screen referred to as the 2 o'clock hour point.
- Conventional CRTs made a few years ago and using a spherically shaped screen have typically a radius of curvature R. The flatter the screen of the CRT, the more pronounced are the misconvergence errors. Thus, for example, when the screen has a relatively large radius of curvature, greater than 1R such as 1.5R or more, the misconvergence error at, for example, the point on the vertical line that is intermediate the 2 o'clock and the 3 o'clock hour points, referred to as the 2:30 hour point, as shown in FIGURE 1a, may become commercially unacceptable. The solid vertical curved lines represent vertical lines from the red crosshatch pattern; whereas, the broken vertical curved lines represent vertical lines from the blue crosshatch pattern. Such unacceptable misconvergence error may occur even though the misconvergence errors at both the 2 o'clock and the 3 o'clock hour points are acceptable. Similarly, unacceptable misconvergence errors may occur at other vertical half-hour points on the respective intermediate vertical lines referred to as the 3:30, 8:30 and the 9:30 hour points. It may be desirable to reduce such unacceptable hourglass shaped misconvergence error at the half hour points such as, for example, at the 2:30 hour point on the vertical line without causing misconvergence at the 2 o'clock and at the 3 o'clock hour points on the vertical line.
- In accordance with an aspect of the invention, four tabs or shunts having high permeability are placed on the horizontal deflection winding between the horizontal deflection winding and the neck of the CRT. The tabs are made of a mixture of a plastic material and a ferrite and are referred to by the name "plasto-ferrite". Such tabs are placed in an intermediate region on the horizontal deflection winding between an entrance region and an exit region of the yoke. Such tabs are used for varying the fifth harmonic distribution of the horizontal magnetic field, obtained in accordance with the Fourier harmonic decomposition analysis, to reduce the aforementioned misconvergence errors at the half hour points.
- An alternative aspect of the invention, is the use of spaces in the winding to achieve the desired fifth harmonic distribution.
- In accordance with an aspect of the invention, a self converged color display device includes a cathode ray tube having an evacuated glass envelope and including an array of different color representative phosphor elements disposed at one end of the envelope forming a display screen and an electron gun assembly disposed at a second end of the envelope. The electron gun assembly arranged to produce three horizontal in-line electron beams for energizing respective ones of the different color phosphor elements. A magnetically permeable core is included. Horizontal and vertical deflection coils are disposed in operating relationship relative to the core for producing when energized horizontal and vertical deflection fields for causing the beams to scan a raster on the display screen. The horizontal deflection field has a predominately pincushion-shaped field for establishing beam convergence along a horizontal axis at a vertical center of the display screen. The harmonic composition of the horizontal deflection field is modified to cause the horizontal deflection field to exhibit a fifth harmonic component that has a significant positive value for correcting a misconvergence error at a half hour point of the raster.

- Figure 2 illustrates a longitudinal sectional view in diagrammatic form through a color television display tube assembly whose longitudinal axis is indicated by Z. A display tube, CRT 110, has a
display screen 22, at the conical end of the tube. CRT 110 is, for example, of the type 66MP (medium planar) that is produced by Videocolor, Anagni, Italy, having adeflection angle 110° and a 66cm or 26V viewable screen size. The term MP indicates a radius of curvature, R>1, such as 1.5R. Aneck end 33, remote fromdisplay screen 22 contains three in-line electron guns 44 situated in one plane; the longitudinal axis lying on that plane with the central electron gun centered on the axis. Adeflection yoke 55 is mounted on CRT 110 such that is surrounds a portion of the neck and a portion of the conical or flared part.Deflection yoke 55 includes a linedeflection coil assembly 77 formed by a pair ofsaddle coils 10. It includes a fielddeflection coil assembly 88 formed by a pair oftoroidal coils 990 wound on a softmagnetic core 66. The two deflection coil assemblies are generally mounted on a support, not shown, of insulating material whose shape is substantially that of a frustum.Coils 10 are driven by ahorizontal deflection circuit 177 andcoils 990 are driven by avertical deflection circuit 178 of a television receiver. - Each
saddle coil 10 has a straight, rearend turn portion 9adjacent electron gun 44, referred to as the gun end. This end turn portion is not bent away from the neck ofCRT 110, but lies generally parallel to longitudinal axis Z. A second, frontend turn portion 19 ofsaddle coil 10 is locatedadjacent display screen 22, referred to as the screen end, and is bent away from axis Z in a direction generally transverse thereto. With such type of saddle coil, each ofcore 66 and the insulating support may be formed, advantageously, as a single piece, rather than being assembled from two pieces clipped or bonded together. - Figures 3a, 3b and 3c illustrate side, top and rear views, respectively, of one of the pairs of
saddle coil 10, embodying an aspect of the invention, of Figure 2. Each winding turn is formed by a wire conductor loop of generally saddle shape. Figure 3d illustrates a cross section at a plane A-A of Figure 3c having a coordinate Z=Z1. Similar symbols and numerals in Figures 2 and 3a-3d indicate similar items or functions. - The front end turns 19 of
saddle coil 10 of Figures 3a-3c is joined to the straight rear end turns 9 by flaredside members 11 and 12. The sections ofside members 11 and 12 located in the exit region of the magnetic deflection field ofyoke 55 are wound in a well known manner to providefront spaces 20 in the coil.Front spaces 20 affect or modify the harmonics of the current distribution in a manner to correct, for example, raster pattern or geometry distortions such as north-south distortion. Similarly, the sections ofside members 11 and 12, located in the entrance region ofyoke 55, are wound in a well known manner to providerear spaces Spaces side members 11 and 12 define awindow 18. - Coma errors are corrected in the entrance region of
coil 10 region. Convergence errors are corrected in intermediate regions, between the exit and entrance regions. Geometry errors at the extreme edges of the display screen are corrected in the exit region. - In the yoke field intermediate regions,
spaces 100 affect convergence. However, the effect ofspaces 100 on horizontal coma is weaker than that ofspaces spaces 100 on side pincushion raster distortion is weaker than that ofspaces 20. -
Spaces saddle coil 10. The wire conductor that define the boundary of such a space is significantly curved for turning a corner to begin or complete an end turn portion of full winding turn. That is to say, each one ofspaces wire 98 of Figure 3A. To form a corner boundary of the space, a length ofwire conductor 98 includessegments 98a and 98b that are oriented at a sharp angle to each other. - In contrast, according to an inventive feature, to form a space away from the end turn corners, wire lengths such as
wire 99 are used, thereby delineating aspace 100. A length ofconductor wire 99 includes asegment 99c which forms one side ofspace 100, and includeswire segments 99a and 99c on either side ofspace 100 which are generally oriented in the same direction of the continuous winding before and after the winding space. - The locations in
saddle coil 10 wherespaces 100 are formed, are, illustratively, remote from and betweenend portions wire segments side member 12 of Figure 3b. Wire orconductor segments coil 10, are sharply curved in order to form the loop-shape of a full winding turn.Spaces 100 are not. associated with these wire segments 99d-99g. Therefore, by providing the capability of placingspaces 100 away from the corners of the coil, great flexibility exists in modifying the winding harmonic content to correct electron beam landing errors. For example, as explained later on,spaces 100 act to reduce the misconvergence at a half hour point such as at, for example, the 2:30 hour point on the vertical line of Figure 1a. - A saddle coil as described above can be wound from copper wire of small dimension, the wire being coated with an electrical insulant and a thermo-setting adhesive. Winding takes place in a winding machine which winds the saddle coil substantially to its final shape and which introduces
spaces - The strength or intensity of the magnetic field produced by
saddle coil 10 of Figures 3a-3d can be measured with a suitable probe. Such measurement can be performed for a given coordinate Z=Z1 of Figure 3b, and for a coordinate Y=0 of Figure 3d, for a given coordinate X=X1, where coordinate X1 varies in the direction of axis X, the horizontal deflection direction. The plane in which coordinate X=X1 varies separates bottom edges 11a and 12a ofsaddle coil 10 of Figure 3c from those of theother saddle coil 10, not shown. Such separating plane is defined as being equally distanced from each of the pair of saddle coils 10 of Figure 2. - The results of measuring the strength of the magnetic field as a function of coordinate X, for a constant coordinate Z=Z1 and for a coordinate Y=0 of Figure 3d, can be used for computing in a well known manner field distribution function or coefficients H₀(Z1), H₂(Z1) and H₄(Z1) of a power series H(X) = H₀(Z1) + H₂(Z1) X² + H₄(Z1) X⁴. The term H(X) represents the strength of the magnetic field as a function of the X coordinate, at the coordinates Z=Z1, Y=0. The coefficients H₀(Z), H₂(Z) and H₄(Z) can then be computed for different values of the coordinate Z. A graph can then be plotted depicting the variation of each of coefficients H₀(Z), H₂(Z) and H₄(Z) as a function of the coordinate Z.
- Field distribution function H₂ is determined mainly by the third harmonic of the winding or current distribution in the saddle coil as a function of an angle φ of Figure 3d. The magnitude of the third harmonic is computed using the Fourier analysis technique. In the same manner, parameter H₄ is determined mainly by the fifth harmonic. Thus, parameter H₄ and the fifth harmonic of the winding distribution of the coil have the same polarity.
- In order to determine the position of
spaces 100 inside members 11 and 12, a deflection yoke, designed similar to that of Figures 2 and 3a-3c but withoutspaces 100 of Figures 3a-3c, is used for performing the aforementioned magnetic field strength measurements. Such a yoke is referred to herein as the initially designed deflection yoke. Assume that the initially designed deflection yoke is otherwise, self converged and generally geometry corrected, except that it exhibits the half hour point misconvergence shown in Figure 1a. - The results of the aforementioned magnetic field strength measurement of the initially designed deflection yoke is used for obtaining the graphs of coefficients H₀, H₂ and H₄, shown in Figure 4, as a function of the coordinate Z of
saddle coil 10, which coil, for reference purposes is drawn in immediately below the Z-axis. As can be seen, the value of coefficient H₄ of Figure 4 is mainly negative, exhibiting its peak excursion in the intermediate pf main deflection region of the magnetic field. Similar symbols and numerals in Figures 2-4 indicate similar items or functions. - Next, in accordance with carrying out an aspect of the invention, four field formers such as, for example, plasto-ferrite shunts or
tabs 100′, a pair of which being shown in broken line in Figure 3e, each having a dimension of, for example, 5mm x 10 mm, are placed symmetrically to axes X andY. Four tabs 100′ are placed on the side ofsaddle coil 10 that faces the glass envelope ofCRT 100. A tab is placed in each of the four quadrants at a corresponding one of four predetermined angles ±φ, 180° ±φ of Figure 3d relative to axis X. The Z-coordinate point and the angle φ are chosen in a manner to reduce subtantially the misconvergence shown in Figure 1a. - Again, a magnetic field strength measurement is performed. The results are used for obtaining the graphs of the coefficients shown in Figure 5. Similar symbols and numerals in Figures 2-5 indicate similar items or functions.
Coil 10 is drawn below the Z-axis line of Figure 5 to show the variation of the coefficients relative to the position of the coil andtab 100′. The values of coefficient H₄(Z) of Figure 5 results in reduced half-hour misconvergence, and, unlike in Figure 4, has no significant negative excursion in the intermediate yoke field region. The H₄ coefficient is mainly positive and its peak excursion has been shifted to near the yoke field entrance region. - Such tabs may also affect the magnetic field produced by the vertical deflection winding. The tabs may also decrease the separation between the horizontal deflection winding and the neck of the CRT. Consequently, such decrease may reduce the range of tilt motion of the yoke relative to the neck of the CRT, required during yoke adjustment in the factory. Also, the tabs may cause a slight increase in the stored energy. Furthermore, such tabs might dissipate energy as a result of induced currents at high frequencies. Additionally, since placing the tabs is, typically, a manual operation, it is subject to variations from yoke to yoke in production. Therefore, situations may arise where one may wish to avoid the above described effects of using tabs to vary the fifth harmonic distribution or the field distribution function H₄(Z) of the horizontal magnetic field.
- In accordance with another inventive way of carrying out a feature of the invention,
spaces 100 of Figure 3a-3c are introduced inside members 11 and 12 ofsaddle coil 10, instead oftabs 100′.Spaces 100 are located incoil 10 approximately at the same angular positions and Z-coordinate wheretabs 100′ were found to correct the misconvergence of Figure 1a in the initially designed deflection yoke. Thus, a misconvergence error at a half hour point of, for example, 0.6 mm, may be reduced to only 0.3 mm by usingspaces 100. - Figure 6 illustrates the graphs of coefficients H₀, H₂ and H₄ as a function of the coordinate Z of saddle coils 10 when
spaces 100 are formed in the coils. Similar symbols and numerals in Figures 2-6 indicate similar items or functions.Coil 10 is drawn below the Z axis line of Figure 6 to show the variation of the coefficients relative to the position ofspace 100 is shown in Figure 6. As in Figure 5, coefficient H₄ of Figure 6 has not significant negative excursion in the intermediate yoke field region. The H₄ coefficient is mainly positive and its peak excursion has been shifted to near the yoke field entrance region and results in substantially reduced half-hour misconvergence. - The horizontal deflection field produced by
saddle coils 10 of Figures 4, 5 and 6 is predominately a pincushion-shaped field for establishing beam convergence along a horizontal axis at a vertical center ofdisplay screen 22. This can be seen by the coefficient H₂ being mainly positive. Figures 4-6 also show the respective locations of the beam entrance region, the intermediate region and the beamexit region coil 10. The entrance and exit regions occur where the conductors that form the windings change directions to form the corresponding four corners ofsaddle coil 10. - In some respects, forming
spaces 100 insaddle coil 10 of Figures 3a-3c is conceptually similar to using the aforementioned tabs. This is so because a tab acts as a shunt to prevent the magnetic field produced by the windings directly behind it from affecting the electron beam. A somewhat equivalent result can be obtained by replacing the tab with aspace 100 formed in the coil. However, formingspaces 100 insaddle coil 10 results in an increased concentration of wires closer to, for example, bottom edges 11a and 12a. Such increased concentration might adversely affect the third harmonic of the current distribution, but this effect may be compensated by using known techniques. - The fifth harmonic of the winding distribution is zero at, for example, angles φ = 18° and φ = 54°. Therefore, it may be desirable to place
tab 100′ orspaces 100 at different angles where the fifth harmonic is nonzero such that the tabs or spaces can affect the magnitude of the fifth harmonic. Any undesirable effect oftabs 100′ orspaces 100 on the third harmonic may be compensated, for example, by further varying the winding distribution from its initial distribution. - It is also possible to advantageously place
tabs 100′ or, alternativelyspaces 100 at angular locations which significantly affect the fifth harmonic but which do not significantly affect the third harmonic of the winding distribution. To create such a situation, atab 100′, or, alternatively,space 100 of Figures 3a-3c, may be located close to a corresponding one of the angular positions ± φ and 180° ± φ, where φ = 30°. In thisway tabs 100′ or, alternativelyspaces 100 of Figures 3a-3c, modify the fifth harmonic to correct the half-hour point misconvergence shown in Figure 1a without degrading convergence at, for example, the 3 o'clock hour point. - A comparison of Figures 4, 5 and 6 shows that the function H₂(Z) does not substantially change when
tabs 100′ or, alternatively,spaces 100 of Figures 3a-3c, are used for correcting the misconvergence shown in Figure 1a. On the other hand, the function H₄(Z) is significantly modified. In actuality, function H₄(Z) of Figure 6 may become modified by, for example,spaces 100 of Figures 3a-3c to the extent that some degradation. of hour-point misconvergence occurs. Therefore, to avoid such degradation, in practice, the angle may be slightly different than 30°, in the range between 20° and 25°. - Based upon aberration theory, the function H₄(Z), after being weighted by. an appropriate power of gaussian deflection, describes the contribution of function H₄(Z) to the half hour error. The gaussian deflection, by definition provides error free cross hatch rasters. The weighted effect of function H₄(Z) which is negative in Figure 4 has been eliminated in Figures 5 and 6 by using the tabs or winding spaces for correcting the half hour error.
